For many parents,
parking their kids in front of the TV or handing them an iPad may seem like the
easiest and swift way of keeping them entertained, it is also true that this
method isn’t the most productive at all. There are numerous different ways that
parents can use to keep their child busy.
It is true that
parents just can’t dedicate the entire day to their kids, spending every minute
with them – as parents have to take care of their jobs and chores as well. And
it’s tough to come up with other effective ideas to keep children busy for
extended period of time.
Here are some
great ideas, suggested by the teacher at the kindergarten in Kalai, to help
parent keep their child busy at home:
Let your child
help you
When parents are
busy with household chores, it could be a great idea to allow their child to
help them do simple tasks. Parents may let their kids help with a job that is
age-appropriate. Parent may, for instance, ask their child to string the beans,
set the dining table, etc. This is a great way of keeping your child busy while
you do your job as well.
Create game
boxes
Fill a box with
the things and stuff that your child loves playing with, even when they are by
themselves. This game box may include age-appropriate puzzles, coloring books,
playing cards, toys, etc. The Teacher at the kindergarten in Atladra Vadodara
suggests that parents give their child this game box whenever they need to keep
their child busy and distracted.
